Meet Olli: The First Autonomous Vehicle Featuring IBM Watson ENGINEERING.com

Open-source auto company Local Motors is constantly redefining itself. The company began with the Rally Fighter, whose designs were crowdsourced from the Local Motors community. The firm then jumped into the 3D printing industry, first 3D printing the Strati concept vehicle and then embarking on a complete line of 3D-printed road-ready cars, set to hit highways in 2017. At the grand opening of the company's new facility in National Harbor, MD, Local Motors redefined itself once again by unveiling "Olli", the first self-driving vehicle powered by IBM Watson. Watson will allow the auto to take advantage of a number of advanced cognitive computing capabilities, including the ability to answer questions from the vehicle's passengers.
